Hi,

<Maybe this will make this a little more readable>

I wanted to maybe clear up a few points...
I know that this depends on the relevant Specs... Except that neither I, nor 
the Warehouse involved have a spec that covers or has an example of this 
issue... But they are willing to send what I need to receive to have the 
expected results...

I can go to the SW provider and ask for an Enhancement... But if I go that 
route, I want to make doubly sure I am not asking for a "square peg" to fit in 
a "round hole"... And I want to make sure I am asking for something that 
actually aligns with Best Practices (whatever that means with respect to EDI)

Have any of you experience with the Incoming (or even Outgoing) 846 and Stock 
Codes with more than one LOT number?

If you have Stock distributed across a number of LOTs at your warehouse, how 
would that be documented in an EDI 846?

I would think that you should be able to document the QTY on hand (or 
available) of each LOT for each Stock Code?

As an experiment I manipulated the Stock/LOT levels for a couple of Stock Codes 
within the Application and then manually generated an 846 "from my Warehouse" 
for those two Stock Codes matching the levels I had set. The Stock and LOT 
distribution as in the below table… 

Lot     Stock code      WH      received        on hand Expiry date     
Creation date
0111    43.539V 90      8,000           8,000           06/22/11        01/22/11
0211    43.539V 90      2,000           2,000           06/22/11        02/22/11
0311    43.539V 90      1,000           1,000           06/22/11        03/22/11
0611    43.505          90      8,000           8,000           06/22/12        
06/22/11
0711    43.505          90      2,000           2,000           07/22/12        
06/22/11
0811    43.505          90      1,000           1,000           08/22/12        
06/22/11

The 846 I generated contained (amongst the usual fluff) the following detail 
lines:
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0611
QTY*33*8000*EA
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0711
QTY*33*2000*EA
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0811
QTY*33*1000*EA
LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0111
QTY*33*8000*EA
LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0211
QTY*33*2000*EA
LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0311
QTY*33*1000*EA

My expectation was that importing this would generate no variances since each 
Stock/LOT number QTY matched the On Hand QTY?
Instead I received a variance for each line, declaring the Total Stock QTY. 
(And then I checked, no there is no option to recognize the Stock any other way)

That doesn’t seem right to me…

So, I generated, this time using the Same application I am Importing the 846 
through, an outgoing 846 for the same Warehouse, the lines in it look like:
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*JUL08
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0611
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0711
LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0811
QTY*33*11000*EA
LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0111
LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0211
LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0311
QTY*33*11000*EA

(FWIW, the JUL08 LOT has no On Hand or Available stock)
Which at least suggests what LOTs exist, but not how much stock is available in 
each of them…

So maybe I am a bit confused…
Anyone have some comments on this? Am I expecting something that just isn’t 
going to arrive in an 846? Or is there a different way (or document) I can use 
to do the same thing?
